Causes for Glaucoma and its Remedies

Glaucoma is a situation in which high interocular pressure occurs as a result of the accumulation of kapha dosha in the viscous fluid inside the eyeball. Glaucoma will usually result in a loss of peripheral or side vision in the initial stages and it may also lead to permanent loss of vision. The progress of the disease can be controlled if timely treatment is taken.
                                                                   
In normal cases, a human eye is filled with fluid and this fluid flows through the tissue between the iris and cornea. When afflicted by glaucoma the fluid in the eye either flows out slowly or stops flowing at all and as a result pressure builds on the eyes between the production and drainage of fluid. In  the case of glaucoma the pressure to build up throughout the eye damages the blood vessels that feed the retina and the optic nerve.

In the initial stages you cannot see any symptoms of Glaucoma as one do not get any feeling of pain. There would also be no issues regarding the vision in the initial stages.  One of the best way to diagnose Glaucoma in the initial stage is to conduct a regular eye checking or examination.

There are many ways to treat glaucoma, which has its own advantages and disadvantages. You can go for a surgery if you want quick recovery. You can also use aryuveda treatments for glaucoma if you are ready to wait for a few months. Ayurveda methods may be slow, but it really tends to remove the disease from the root level. These days many people are turning towards ayurvedic treatments for glaucoma,  as ayurvedic treatment have proved to be much effective and consistent.
